A new news article has been posted!
The official Pokémon GO website has updated to include information about banning cheaters. Various methods of cheating are specifically indicated but those that have been banned by accident can appeal their ban. In the past few weeks, players of the game have been using unauthorized methods to play the game such as GPS modifiers and emulators.
